Physiotherapist/Occupational Therapist Assistant
Occupational therapist assistants (OTAs) and physiotherapist assistants (PTAs) are health care workers who work under the supervision of and in collaboration with occupational therapists and physiotherapists, respectively. Graduates assist these therapists to teach and enable clients to effectively cope with their limitations in movement, daily functioning, and activities whether temporary or permanent, during and following recovery. As health care team members, OTAs and PTAs work with individuals, families, and groups of varying abilities, and provide support and enable participation in meaningful activities across the lifespan. OTAs and PTAs assist in the implementation of intervention/treatment plans and programs that have been developed by the occupational therapist or physiotherapist. Occupational therapy promotes clients’ optimal independent function, with the purpose of enabling individuals to perform self-care, be productive, and to contribute to their environment. Physiotherapy improves and maintains clients’ functional independence and physical performance, and promotes fitness, health, and wellness. Both OTAs and PTAs are responsible for the implementation of those activities/exercises that have been assigned to them. Under current legislation, occupational therapists and physiotherapists are legally accountable for the safe, effective, and efficient planning, delivery, and evaluation of the activities/ exercises assigned to the OTA and PTA.
Becoming an OTA and PTA enables an individual to enter a dynamic and challenging career that offers opportunities in a variety of health and community settings. Graduates may find employment within health care facilities, community agencies, and private practices.
